Redstate and this failed blog agree! Defeat SOPA!
Submitted by peter on Thu, 01/12/2012 - 06:17http://www.redstate.com/neil_stevens/2012/01/12/tech-at-night-kill-sopa-... I don't always agree with Redstate but when I do, I want to re-post their fair post. Will they do the same? Probably not.
Or maybe this failed blog has nothing to post!

Happy holidays
Submitted by peter on Sun, 12/25/2011 - 10:59'Dickens described the holidays as "a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of other people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." '
I agree. Happy holidays to my fellow travelers!

Submitted by peter on Sat, 12/03/2011 - 07:37Web tracking, infecting and anonymous tools
Submitted by peter on Mon, 11/21/2011 - 07:02http://projects.wsj.com/surveillance-catalog/?mod=djemalertNEWS#/search/... is a web site that certainly should be looked at. I found the most interesting to be the attempt to make one anonymous on the web. You don't want a web master to know that you are coming from DHS. Of course, this web site? The web master doesn't care. At least somebody came to visit!

This is a good holiday gift!

Tell Congress about how you don't want PIPA, even if you don't understand WTF PIPA is!
Submitted by peter on Wed, 11/16/2011 - 21:08http://fightforthefuture.org/pipa/
Plays the same video wswordsman posted below. It will ask you to enter address than it will send a letter to your congress people about opposing this.
The main issue to me is the making web addresses less secure. If this bill passes it could be the end of this failed blog!
Get involved, this is not a drill!

Please update Alicetime when you can
Submitted by peter on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 19:57You know who you are. You know it is a google doc. If you call her, then update the file. How often have you called? Look it up in the doc. If you look at the file, then you will notice major events are missing. As Mom taught me, "It's all my fault." It doesn't matter if you don't know what I'm talking about. No one comments on this failed blog anyway.
